Hallway ...
I was walking down a hall
There was carpet wall to wall ...
It was rather dark and dim
I was feeling uneasy and grim ...
The hall was long like a maze
It became darker; air like haze ...
Round the corner came a shadow of a trace
A figure of a man who shot me in the face ...
There was carpet wall to wall ...
It was rather dark and dim
I was feeling uneasy and grim ...
The hall was long like a maze
It became darker; air like haze ...
Round the corner came a shadow of a trace
A figure of a man who shot me in the face ...

About this poem:
A Dream ...
Fear of the Dark
At night when I shut out the light, I fear something is creeping...
Behind closed walls, and through dark halls, I hear dark spirits speaking...
And tears they fall, albeit small, I feel my spirit weakening...
And though I've wept, I have not slept, my fears keep me from sleeping....
Behind closed walls, and through dark halls, I hear dark spirits speaking...
And tears they fall, albeit small, I feel my spirit weakening...
And though I've wept, I have not slept, my fears keep me from sleeping....

About this poem:
Fear not,,....A Man
Awakening you ponder
Mind begins to wander
Under dawn of lighted day
Drawing a complicated array
Of endless visions you replay
Always the Renaissance man
Dreaming dreams you can
Woven into a master plan
Searching for a real soul
Conjuring a fluid goal
Feelings floating sublime
Suspended in spatial time
Orbiting without boundaries
Vacillating over frequencies
Seeking a heart that’s free
Thoughts like a symphony
Creating an opportunity
Moving in rapid synchrony
Uplifting very rhythmically
Feelings used appealingly
Your contemplated reality
Is masked very artistically
Like jewels perfectly aligned
A love precisely designed
To lie upon the hidden alters
Within your confused mind

About this poem:
Deep thinking and contemplation today.
Bride of thanatos
A toast my darling
to a brand new world
of gods and monsters,
shall it be gin?
I am reanimated tonight
sometimes I feel
like a monster
I belong among the dead.
I want a lover
someone like me
together we can delve
into the mysteries of the afterlife.
You woman
can be a friend
a lover
a bride...

About this poem:
We all want something beautiful.....
online today!My sorrow (5 7 5)
Petals of sorrow
dripping the moist of my tears
Silenced by the wind.
dripping the moist of my tears
Silenced by the wind.

About this poem:
Just been thinking lately.Thanks for all your reads and comments.
Surreal Poem
Last night I dreamed
your eyes were lit
in a world of fire
your kisses struck
like heat lightning
many moons rose and fell
tides pulled the shoreline closer
you transparent as a ghost
and in the heat of this frozen night
we were still there...
You the porcelain doll
eyes that open and shut
words yet to crack
mute rain between us
eyelashes black and shiny
sitting on the edge of the mountain
with just a shallow stare...
My body gliding to you
I try and break through
waves that have become mountains
that cover the pale skyline...

About this poem:
Was it a dream?Contemporary Hook Up
Shadows and neon lights
flood the hotel room
we are actors in a soap opera
the pillows drool
at your sexy eyelashes
I anticipate you and I
will share the smell of exhaustion
as we cling to each other
in our soon to be well worn skin...
Perhaps I don't really know
where you've been
or who you hang with
all I can feel right now
is to taste your lips
lick your dark brown skin
I don't wish to know
your favorite movie
you don't know how I like my tea...
This just may be
an acted out
fairy tale romance
or it may just be
a dark night of erotic tricks
then I'll ask for your number
this most dangerou game....

About this poem:
Was is just a mirage?Text from my deceased wife
Late last night
I received a text message
from my deceased wife
six feet under
from her coffin
It read
"Hope you find love again"
She is always thoughtful
she says
It's to help me find peace
and not to
look for love
in all the wrong places.
As long as I don't
change my number
she will
keep in touch...

About this poem:
Bar song
I honestly don't know from whence I appeared,
Just a lost soul from a crossroad
that found himself here,
So pull up your barstools and tip up your beers,
There's noone that knows you here,
Noone that cares,
It's the wrong time for a long rhyme,
I'll keep my lines short,
The price of this life seems too much to afford,
With too much to do seems I'm screwed cross the board,
And unfinished business just steers me off course,
So I sing of a few things I need off my chest,
We take drugs we make love wake up with regrets,
Its a hard write of a hard life but thats just the deal,
We're all grasping and searching for something that's real...
Just a lost soul from a crossroad

We take drugs we make love wake up with regrets,
Its a hard write of a hard life but thats just the deal,
We're all grasping and searching for something that's real...

About this poem:
New stuff...Waking dreams
As all of this runs through my head,
I wish that I'd go back to bed,
Dreams of kings with queens.
Long forgotton things,
I remember them all,
Running fingers across,
Cracked, broken, brick walls,
Empty voices echoing lonely halls,
I hear them call,
Choose not to listen,
Tears brim and eyes glisten,
The aching loss of a love thats missing....
I wish that I'd go back to bed,

Running fingers across,
Cracked, broken, brick walls,
Empty voices echoing lonely halls,
I hear them call,
Choose not to listen,
Tears brim and eyes glisten,
The aching loss of a love thats missing....
